"They are very much appreciated by all of us at BGGW and by all the volunteers who have come forward this year not only to protect the Ospreys but to help with the day-to-day running of our Community Interest Company.

“This 'little one' is the result of all of your efforts. Let's hope the other two chicks are not too far behind him.

“The chick is remaining well-hidden beneath the female and has only been seen a few times since it saw the light of day this morning. It has been fed a couple of times and is looking well. More news later.”

A pair of ospreys has bred in the Glaslyn Valley since 2004 and RSPB Cymru has been running a viewing centre at Pont Croesor near Porthmadog since 2005.

More than 300,000 visitors have visited the site over the years, which has seen 23 chicks successfully fledge from the nest during that time.”
